Greg certainly deserves most of the credit for the index Duane, it was a great idea, and with the help of some other Guardians, he has really done a sterling job. It's a great resource to have here :thumbsup:

Course it's still better to read the entire thread! :D ;) :thumbsup:
 
Showing a couple of big boys today! Hope everyone has a great weekend!:)

Man- LOVE that Stag example Jack!
Here is my Lambsfoot, I have used knife nearly everyday, That Patina was bought one by using my Knives on my food, I have cut a lot of Kiwi Fruit- and this instantly hit that Blade - after smoko I would always wipe my Knife down.
I have had one attempt at sharpening - this wasn't totally successful, but got it sharper again- so work in progress!

I was one of the lucky members here that recently received one of the beautiful A. Wright and Sons rams horn Lambsfoot gifted by my good friend Mrknife. This was a SFO of Jack Black. The blade steel Jack Black chose was Sheffield-made C70 which is a high carbon steel. The reason I mention this steel is my experience in sharpen it about a week ago. First I freehand sharpen my knives and have a habit of counting the strokes I use to keep both sides even. This knife was very dull so I started out with 30 strokes on both sides on a soft Arkansas stone not knowing the steel to see where I was at. To my amazement this blade had become razor sharp with just this small bit of sharpening. It sliced through the hair on my arm as well as any Shick razor would. I did not notice popping up a burr on the blade as those total of 60 strokes were all I did to it. I don't know about edge retention yet but it definitely took an edge better and quicker than any knife I have ever sharpened. I don't know if this was just a fluke or not but I was left with my jaw dropped.

Could this be an unintentional Lambfoot? :)

A schatt & Morgan Swayback from 20/30s possibly earlier. The Master's obviously been sharpened over its life but it does seem to have a lamb aspect to my eye;)

That's an interesting knife Will, beautiful too, nice long slim blade, though as someone remarked early in this thread, all Sheepsfoot blades, if used, will eventually look like Lambsfoot blades :thumbsup:
